Chapter 21, Problem 58QAP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The amount in kilograms of sodium perchlorate should be detremined which is produced in an eight-hour run when current of $\text{1}.\text{5}0\times \text{ 1}{0}^{\text{3}} \text{A}$ passes through an electrolytic cell.

Concept introduction:

From Faraday’s law of electrolysis, relation between charge, potential difference and time is,

$Q=It$

Where, Q is charge, I is current and t is time.
